Marie Antoinette

Sofia Coppola directed and wrote this movie about herself in a revolutionary manner that gave her a prize in Cannes. What I think stands out from the film is the aesthetics. It is not hard for today's audience to buy into the cosmetic, fashion, teen magazine type of images and music. Nearly everyone that is alive today has grown up watching them everywhere. But in some sense, the deepness of the superficial is the most attractive part in the movie.
The reason why I think she did a good job in portraying that society is because she must connect so well with today's equivalent. Being the daughter of a respected and wealthy cinema master must allow you to relate to all the dirt within "success" and status. Enjoy.
